Need some major help

[scruffy_man]

im a 15 year old school boy leaving in september 07. i was thinking of going into a career in accounts and was wondering what is the best route to do it and how long would it take. i was considering getting an apprenticeship and going down the nvq side of things. It will take me 3 years and i will then have a level 3 NVQ (if all goes well) i then no i would have to get a level 4 nvq which is the equivalent of a degree. i was wondering what i would have to do after this to become a qualified acca or aca(not sure what the difference is)or would there be a easier route to start off with. i would really appreciate any help on the matter

many thanks luke hull
